I started weight training after one month of eating carnivore. I worked out with a trainer for a half hour, up to three times a week for 4 weeks. After 10 half hour sessions I lost 7.7 lbs of fat and gained 7.9 lbs of muscle. Not bad for a 70 year old woman. Love carnivore!

Since taking control and losing over 40 lbs I was able to make the 220 jump weight and early this morning went skydiving for the first time. I can only repay you and all my Low Carb Heroes by living my new life to the fullest. Age 67 Excuses 0.

No need to make it complicated or micromanaged with the steak Shawn. Put 2 or 3 large nails (iron) cleaned, into the center of the steak. The nails will transfer the heat into the center and cook the steak from within. Much easier, much better results. I am 70 and have been doing this for the last 50 years. Works perfect every time.

That steak was a real beauty.

This was so helpful, literally answered all my doubts and questions on the topic.

The best shawn! Much love from Australia!

I was looking for building muscle.. and as a bonus I'll learn how to cook a great steak, by Shawn Baker. This video is perfect.

It's refreshing to hear a Dr. talk nutrition and weight lifting!

I will be 8 weeks carnivore tomorrow. 17 pounds down running 5k twice a week. Also do some HIIT. I'm gunna stay on this diet now rest of my days. I feel so much better. My sleeps are the biggest factor. Having sleep apnea most of my adult life. It's seriously reduced I'd say bout 85% if not feel this rested in a very long time. Sugar should come with a health warning.

Very interesting informatión and Great Steak 😃Thanks Shawn...Greetings from Chile♥️🇨🇱

Strangely enough, the exact opposite of what most people claim to struggle with happened to me after starting carnivore. I started gaining strength and muscle like crazy with my workouts in the gym. My workout sessions improved dramatically due to my increased levels of energy, which proves that carbohydrates aren't necessary for energy.

I know this is an old video, but had to come to the man who understands the science, explains it well and completely embodies the concepts he teaches. Thanks!

Thanks for this Shawn.

Lately I've been buying 2.5lbs of chuck roast sear in some butter or suet until golden brown...then put in oven for 18min lb @ 350...let rest....so freaking good...I usually eat that with sardines...

Semen retention and sexual abstinence increases androgen receptor density. Personally i have noticed increased muscle composition without working out over the two months i have been abstaining. Remarkable changes. Voice has deepened, improved hair and skin quality, energy is better, focus is better. for the first two months i was still eating junk food. For the last 10 days i have been on carnivore and am hoping to increase my bone density. I have been malnourished for too long.

I've lifted weights my whole life and started carnivore 25 days ago. My muscles feel strong and dense. I jumped from 195 to 200 lbs. The fat is flying off me, and the muscle is just stacking.

The shipping of fruits and vegetables around the world is responsible for almost all of invasive species. Imagine the animal and insect deaths caused by that. Talk about the collapse of ecosystems and harm to the environment...

Love all of your videos, and I share them frequently. But could I give a little tiny feedback? It seems that I always have to turn the volume up as high as I can and sometimes even add a speaker because you typically speak pretty quietly. Would it be possible to turn up the volume on your end? I’ve heard this from many of my carnivore friends, about your videos, which we love so much!

It's sad that so many fitness experts espouse high carbs to gain muscle. Like you, I've had no problems working out and gaining muscle in the absence of carbs, as long as my protein intake is high enough. I eat more of a high protein keto. Eating just meat all the time does not appeal to me.

omg, that steak looks awesome. I'm pretty happy with my steak prep already, but truth be known, I'm saving up for one of those grills! ;) Enjoy!

Reverse sear. I usually go to 130, but at 180 oven temp to bring it up to temp in 30 minutes for a pound steak. Then do a quick sear in butter to get a brown crust. Final product is medium/medium rare. 125 would probably work best for smaller steak like these to get more rare.

Damn, I'm in the middle of a 72hr fast. The steak does look quite good. LOL

Damn nice looking steak! I get the same result using my cast iron skillet for first seer, then into 350 degree oven, then finish seer on one side, I bet your dogs were waiting for the bone, I hope you cut it in half to share with both your dogs. I am building muscle at 64 doing pushups, and have noticed a pretty quick recovery when doing other physical exercises and reduced muscle soreness than when I was a non-carnivore. Keep up the great work Doctor!

I literally watched the start of this as my yummy steak rested 😂😍😍 ....do not recommend watching this video without a hot steak in front of you

Ironworkz video on KZfaq is an older commercial for red meat. I found it today and it’s message is that you can feel healthy and vital in old age with this diet. Love your content Shawn!

I use my Ninja Foodi (similar to instapot) to sous vide meat. It is quicker and easier to use than my dedicated sous vide circulator. It is only slightly less precise in temperature control. After a couple hours in the sous vide, I sear the meat in cast iron or use a torch. The fancy searing grill (Otto Wilde) Dr. Baker showed, looks nice but can be kind of pricey.

Check out the great Gama, he did a lot of body weight workouts and was the greatest wrestler of his time, drank a lot of milk, was 5'8 and 260 pounds

Shawn Baker You need ASADO (Argentinian style grilled beef) and mate try 'Yerba mate' just before you working out and you will understand what it is for. all Gaucho (cowboys) get strong living on 'Yerba mate' (central nerve system stimulant ->coffee

Shawn, as a 73YO ex football player that has never been overweight 6'4" 230-247..but now down to 226#...muscle wasting..I am going to try Dr. Mercola's recept video on Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) banding exercises. Are you aware of this technique? What are your thoughts?

@shawnbaker last year I suffered a complete break of my left knee cap. I had metal work put in my knee to combine the bone back and this year I had the metal work removed. My rehab and recovery is slow. I've been reading alot about the carnivore diet and was thinking of trying it for 30 days to see if it will help the healing process and I'm also wanting to gain some muscle as I'm now down to 106.3lb. Didnt know if u could help me with how much to eat etc

I use the sous vide gizmo to cook my tomahawk steak and then finish it off on the grill for 5 minutes. Melt in your mouth tender and delicious!

wow looks AMAZING

Hello, does this not tire the liver too much to make it do gluconeogenesis so much to convert the protein?

Yum....breakfast time 😁.....oh I don't have a big steak like that 😭😭😭

Thirty days into carnivore and my muscle gains are insane so far but I need more information on bodybuilding while on carnivore.. I want to build while trying to keep away from supplements.

Ooooooooh that sizzle! 🥩🤤

you should really do a step by step video showing the technique for the steak from beginning to end. your steaks look crazy.

It’s adequate and sufficient; however, is it optimal?

cinder grill and what kind of grill outtawild?

Is it fine to take Creatine when on a full carnivore diet?

What's your opinion on BFR-Training?

Hi Shawn, I like what you do and say!!! I have a question for you: does going carnivore help with estrogen dominance?

So if your obese (I'm 6f5 and 290lb) I can eat 1800cals and lose weight..should I carry on with that or eat more to maintenance knowing I'm working out.

This is funny: despite what you and Paul say about neeidn carbs at some point, I never had that problem. And trust me' I put myself beyond what the average person does to get fit, beyond what most people have done if I am correct. So even though I am back on consuming carbs just for fun, I am legitimately confused. What has changed?

So what’s the point in lifting heavy, if one gets tired quickly?

Anyone start to have zero appetite in their third week? I'm at the point I can't force myself to break even 1000 calories. Even added ketchup to increase taste n thus appetite. Didn't work n I had negative side effects to ketchup. Can't have eggs or dairy. I'm going to try salmon n chicken for a day or two n see if that helps but any ideas on eating more will certainly be helpful. Thanks.

I saw a group of men using only bodyweight and static training and they were fantastically looking.

Excellent Podcast 🙂👍. #Yes2Meat. #MeatHeals. 🦆🦐🐄🦀🦴🍤🥚🐟🦞🦌🥩🐑. 😋😋😋

Static training seems to work very well but not at all by it's self.

Sous vide is great!

I’ve got a muscle building/weight loss question: What would happen if I ate a certain amount of food/calories and never deviated from it, in regard to body composition and body fat percentage? Would my body remain at a body composition “set point” with extremely little body fat? For example, I’m 5’11”, weigh 225, and my bodyfat is 28%. (Best possible estimate I can get, using underwater bodyfat testing) I’ve been doing Carnivore 3 weeks, and have lost 24 pounds. I plan on weightlifting 5 days a week. (I had to quit several months ago due to injury, but will restart tomorrow, yay!!) I eat 19 ounces of cooked 80% lean hamburger per day, about 1600 calories. I’m NEVER hungry, and don’t want to eat anything more than this. So, theoretically, in a year (or less?) from now, will I just be totally ripped and weigh something like 175 with 10% or less bodyfat? My only goal is to feel good (I do!), and be healthy/athletic. My guess is that my body will eventually become more efficient at utilizing protein/fat, and I will stabilize at “some” weight, requiring significantly less calories than I do now to maintain my weight (which I estimated to be 3,000 calories per day.... though I know calories are an outdated concept as per Dr. Ken Berry..... it’s really about insulin, and how your body stores fat, utilizes your nutrients, metabolic pathways, etc.) I’m 45 now, and when I was younger I ate a TON of food to gain muscle. But now that I’m older, I really do NOT want to be a slave to food, and the less times and amount of food I have to eat, the better! So, any thoughts guys? Will I end up ripped, or having a wrecked metabolism? I should also mention I’m on TRT because something happened to my Endocrine system that the docs couldn’t figure out (years and years ago) and I take 75mg testosterone weekly because my body does not produce ANY naturally.... I never used any drugs or prescribed drugs regarding bodybuilding. So I’m guessing that I won’t LOSE any muscle despite having a calorie deficit.... at least not for many many months.

I started taking 10mg of boron daily and I noticed an increase in my muscle gains.

You said you can't increase muscle with body weight but looking at the Olympic athletes, they use static holds and are the most dynamic looking athletes with lots of muscles. They will not be seen likely in a gym lifting weights. I'd love for you to comment on this.

Where you get that shirt?!

Low volume high intensity is the way to go for a natural lifter.

I’ve got a question for the doctor or anyone out there I am a healthy 52-year-old, 6’2 200 pounds. I work out 3 to 4 times a week and I got a blood test done through my doctor as I normally do and my cholesterol is 262, which is way too high. Do I eat gourmet burgers and pizza maybe a little too much, yes I do love steak I eat a lot of chicken. My question is my doctor obviously wants me to lean up on the meats and try to you know bring my cholesterol down before being put on a prescription drug, but I want to try this plan carnivorous diet plan which really goes against what my bloodwork says I need to do. I know I could probably stick to maybe pork a lot of fish and chicken which is not that exciting but if anybody has any suggestions of What I should do, or avenue I should take with the cholesterol level being that high. I feel very healthy I don’t have any joint problems, i would never know that my cholesterol was that high, but any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thank you

that looked delicious

Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę miłego dnia

Is it ok to swallow the connective tissue that doesn’t break down in your mouth ? I always spit it out but then I started to think maybe I should just eat it.

I remember reading the long list of food intake of a particularly jacked actor and asked my bartender ( don't drink anymore ) what the heck are his poops like? He replied that the particular actor probably sh*ts muscles. Pretty good comeback. lol.

That has been the hardest part of carnivore for me. I'm a horrible cook. I'm use to eating out, I cook meat it taste like cardboard with bbq sauce. I'm getting better, but man do I want a double whopper with cheese.

Is cooking destroying the nutrients? Is the brown/black crost carcinogenic?

To build muscle yummy made me feel hungry seeing that steak lol 😍 🥩

Should i lift first thing in morning fasted or eat first?

Shaun.... Would you consider going vegan for six weeks if Kahn went Carnivore for the same amount of time? It might open his eyes if he actually gave it a try.

Perfect

Is carnivore diet recommended for gaining weight; for someone who is very skinny and a "hard gainer"?

Great-looking steak!!! Does anyone have any advice for postmenopausal women specifically? I am 63, 5 ft 1, 96 lbs, run a little and strength train a little and do yoga several times a week, but I get easily injured as soon as I try heavier weights (12# is pretty much my max per dumbbell for upper body), and I have difficulty eating more than 1700 cal a day (as measured by CarbManager; usually 75% fat, 20+% protein, the rest as carbs from dairy and, Okay, I admit it, a square of 85% Lindt dark chocolate a day). Been carnivore since Feb 28, 2019. Lost about 10 lbs. Not what I wanted exactly : )

Greetings. I would like to ask you to get a good lavalier microphone, your voice is difficult to get on this

I started carnivore 8 days ago and gained 6 lbs. What's going on? Is this normal the 1st week? Am I eating to much meat?

Do you eat grass fed or corn fed meat?

I'm 230lbs so it's gonna be pretty difficult to eat 230 grams of protein per day .

Wished I have a grill like that. 😊

How do you put on muscle in your 60s?

Damn that steak looked great.

seems like sous vide cooking would be good for this diet

I'm skinny and I'm loosing weight, HELP

OMG that tomahawk steak made my mouth water 🤭👏

That is $40 in Walmart!

The real truth: people experience rapid muscle growth for the first 1-2 years of weight training. Then with improvements in diet and training, they can eek out slow muscle growth for an additional few years. Then it's basically over. They will only pack on so much muscle naturally. Once they're at or near their max, increasing calories or protein will add fat and muscle at an increasingly unfavorable ratio.

Dr. Baker, if I was to introduce milk would it have to be raw? I live on the channel islands where the milk is generally really good but I can't stand the raw milk 😢

How do I stop losing weight without carbs??

300-1000 is the testerone level for men and the loss of testosterone decreases with age. The normal man is at a loss of over 50% at the age of 55 and older. I am 69 and will be 70 March 15, 2020. In 2018 my testosterone was 815, at 68 years old, and this year it is 845 and I have the print out by the doctors proving it. How come I have hard trouble gaining muscle though age plays a big factor? I've seen older than I with more muscle?????

A bit much with the 2 long adverts at the start

Praise the LORD!

BOY!!! 😋

Need a steak!

Its this simple, if your past family generations did not eat this way, you will have long term health issues. I have already tested the carnivore diet for 6 weeks. My workouts, enurance, testosterone, and muscle growth, is significantly better, with some plant foods in the diet, mainly cherries, apples, blueberries, occasional butter lettuce, and pistachios in my case. I mostly eat high fat high quality red meat, liver, and heart, far more then all other meats. My only beverage is meat broth(mostly beef broth). This, combined with the plant foods, has me feeling more superhuman, then any other way of eating. I know we all have different DNA codes, and need to eat differently from person to person. HOWEVER....I believe it is extremely important to avoid grains...especially wheat, and processed sugar based foods. I also choose to avoid most dairy...other then butter....and will never eat potatoes, beans etc.

I find it challenging to put on muscle doing OMAD-carnivore, 3 smaller meals is way better. The only situation when I had positive results with OMAD-carnivore and muscle mass gain is with a Targeted-Carnivore approach (ingesting 20-30g of carbs, 30 mins before a workout).

Do your doggies get the bones on that tomahawk?

I lifted before carnivore and had a bench max of 345. Went carnivore and lost 50 pounds with a bench max of 245. I lost 100 pounds off my bench max with a 50 pound weight loss. I did the eat until satiated advice. I think this is bad advice for me.

He over cooks his steaks... RARE :)

Thats it another advert in the middle of vgd for 40seconds thats almost 2 min of adverts that ruined the entire video.

you need a Smooth bladed sharp knife. It seems you are using a serrated knife and believe me when I say that changing the knife will make the steak more enjoyable.

Wouldn't your hunger increase with working out, and put you in caloric surplus naturally?

Bro this is straight bs, TESTOSTERONE HAS A DIRECT CORRELATION TO MUSCLE BUILDING

One way to increase mTOR sensitivity is by taking a full week off by doing absolutely nothing

I just eat 8 eggs with some cheese and bacon , lamb steak , and 2 litres of milk today

Doesn’t cooking meat destroy a lot of amino acids

Any good studies showing the health benefits of people who eat blackened steak 10+ times per week?
